edu.stanford.math.plex4.homology.chain_basis.CellComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<Cell>

public class CellComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<Cell>

If the dimensions are equal then it looks at the cellId values. This class implements the Comparator interface, and follows a singleton design pattern.
